Mycelium $teaks

Opportunity & $trategy pt 1

 What’s happening, everybody? Thanks for stopping by. Let’s just jump straight into the mix. So, as I’m sure you already know, there has been another public execution by ICE. The victim’s name this time was Alex Pretti. He was an ICU nurse at a veterans hospital. From the pictures of him wth his mountain bike, he seemed like a real menace to society to me. I send my condolences. He seemed like a great person. This is another of many examples of completely unnecessary tragedies perpetrated by a rogue army of lawless, mindless, violent, ruthless hethans. Sent to persecute the good people of Minnesota for political reasons. Over the past few weeks, as I’ve watched footage not only, of the public executions, but also the beating up of a pregnant lady. Who could ever forget the video of ICE dragging the paralyzed lady from her car by her hair. They tear-gassed a family, including a toddler, who lost consciousness and had to go to the emergency room.  all of these people, who were American citizens. All of these images bring up many thoughts and feelings. First off, it is an example of the erosion of society of an empire in collapse. If you look at the completely unnecessary adversarial dichotomy between local and federal authorities, it comes across as amateurish. It's like getting into a physical fight with someone in your own family or fighting with your own team during a game. It all starts at the top, piss poor leadership, incompetence, and an inability to plan or strategize. I’m not going to dwell on this sad set of events. The people in charge of this total failure of an operation are doing a good enough job of making themselves look awful. This all taking place in Minneapolis, I can’t help but think about what if Prince were still alive? I bet he would be on fire right now. I wonder what he would think about what’s going on and the music he might be making now. I miss that guy.

  I usually don’t post mid-week due to my work schedule. When I get my day off during the week, I do my workout then try to get some music done. So, I just wanted to briefly express a few thoughts I’ve been having. I hate wartime; some shows you watch turn into propaganda hour. I understand it is an inevitability, still sux though. My point of writing today is that I need to retract a statement that went a little too far in the last blog. I said something to the effect of comparing Washington politicians to Hollywood actors. After thinking about it,  I realized how that statement could be a little offensive, to actors. I may owe professional actors an apology. It’s not like what I’m seeing from these politicians is actually entertaining, interesting or even believable. It’s not like I'm watching Denzel or De Niro, Halle Berry or Amy Adams. It’s more like my 10th grade drama class. Washington is like the world's most corrupt reality show. These people seem greedy, shallow, one-dimensional, self-absorbed projectionists. It’s very much so unintriguing. It’s the worst when they just robotically regurgitate talking points given to them by their overlords. I’m so tired of hearing “Israel has the right to defend itself”. Yes, I heard you the first 875,000 times you said that. Of course, that is true, as every nation in the world has the right to defend itself.  I don’t need you to keep saying that every 5 seconds because it’s just GD common sense. I’m going to add more to this blog later, but that’s it for now. I just wanted to apologize to professional actors.  In comparison, while actors and actresses have brought countless hours of joy, entertainment and pleasure into my life. Most politicians have only brought me agony, anguish, frustration and freaking headaches. 

I wanted to talk briefly about “Acquire What You Desire,” a series of blogs I wrote a while ago. The series was meant to inspire anyone looking for inspiration, including myself. It was about the journey of becoming the best version of yourself. I wrote about people, events, and experiences that have inspired and motivated me, and I wanted to share my perspective and thoughts on such things.  Although I am already a self motivated person. At the time I could’ve really used some encouragement. Things were not going well. Life and the world had beaten me up pretty badly over the last few years. It left my ego and bank account bruised and battered. You wouldn’t know it from my writing and disposition. I will always put on a brave face, look on the bright side and remain positive. I took it upon myself to find and consume these enlightening types of media.  A lot of the media that helped me were the stories of people who had encountered massive levels of adversity and still went on to find success. One such of these stories that stood out to me was that of Dave Thomas. Now I’m not going to get into his whole story, you can look it up if you want to.  After overcoming a tumultuous, abusive upbringing in a foster home. He went on to be the creative and driving force behind the success of KFC and Wendy’s. He helped turn them into the largest restaurant franchises in the world. Now, there are two types of business people in the world. There’s the innovator that Dave was, he was a food and restaurant genius, truly brilliant. Then there is the cutthroat businessperson. Some people are a little bit of both but most people are one or the other. I'm not here to debate which one is better or call anyone bad; I’m just laying out the facts of this part of the story. One of the other owners of KFC, John Brown was responsible for recognizing Dave’s talent and promoting him to an executive position. John Brown was definitely a cutthroat businessman. The dynamic of having both different types of business styles there is probably a big part of what catapulted them to monumental success. The weakness in a cutthroat businessman is greed. John Brown instead of realizing that he had the goose that lays the golden eggs in his employee Dave Thomas. The thing about the alpha personality type is that they are always trying to compete even when it is completely illogical and unnecessary to do so. Any other manifestations of strength are seen as a threat; it makes them insecure. They do not strategize well, usually. Crush, smash, destroy are their primary tactics. Even though Dave is on his team printing him barrels of cash and making him filthy stanking rich. His need to feel like he needs to keep Dave under his thumb causes him to scam Dave out of one of his investments worth two million dollars. This was in the sixties, which would be about twenty dollars in today's money. This is why Dave Thomas quit KFC and founded Wendy’s. This is not at all meant to bash John Brown, although debatably unethical, he didn’t do anything illegal. What I’m here to highlight is the strength and fortitude it took to overcome an enormous financial blow like that. Yes. Dave still had a lot of money but he also had a wife and five kids to support. This kind of loss would be devastating for anyone. All because he put his trust in the wrong person. This is not like when the market goes down and you lose a portion of your net worth, but then it rebounds a few weeks later. Nope, that money is permanently gone. People have jumped off the roofs of buildings for less. Just the fact that he was able to recover and continue to innovate. That was very inspiring to me at a time when I really needed it. One of the self-publishing creators I follow has a video where he is not just giving information about the business, but rather, he is telling his story. He talks about his own personal struggles along the way. I don’t recall all the details you can find the video on youtube. He mentioned that on his journey he got scammed for a hundred thousand dollars and was devastated. He does go on to recover and becomes a multi-millionaire in his twenties. I mentioned it because he said in a different video that the video where he was telling his story was his lowest performing video as far as the metrics. That was stunning to me because I regard that to be his best video. He said nobody cared, well, you know what people do care.  It definitely inspired me the most and pretty much sold me on his program. Don’t take this the wrong way people, there’s no sales pitch coming. I’m never going to try to sell you anything. The only product I have like I said, will be given away for free. I don’t have money worries any longer. Even if I did, I wouldn’t try to get any money from you here.  I’m very resourceful I enterprise in other ways. This is just to give you an example of the types of experiences that encouraged and helped me make it through dark and low periods of time. These are the kinds of stories that I was going to highlight in the “AWYD” series.

Concerning the evolution of this blog and my thought process, the long and short of it is Gaza. That situation has really changed me in a lot of ways.  Out of all the bad things happening around the world, I still didn’t think human beings were capable of this level of evil on a scale this large. To have these vile actions live streamed to my phone every day has been very traumatic. It has really changed my outlook on many of the people in this world.  When I think about the level of suffering being experienced by the Palestinians. My desires they don’t really matter.  Me thinking inwardly about my own desires seems superficial.  In contrast, my Jedi religion teaches me to only think outwardly of others. While the blog was meant to encourage and inspire. When people who are sleeping in tent encampments are getting 2000lb bunker buster bombs dropped on them, and starving people standing in line for desperately needed aid are getting blasted with machine guns and tank shells. Mostly women and children. These first world problems seem not so relevant. I wanted to address the politicians and pundits acting like they’re doing something righteous and virtuous by supporting this massacre. We are not dumb we know you are not doing this out of principle. We know who you are, we know how much money you’ve taken from special interests, and we know from whom. I could speak to all the current chaos and political theater. I understand that chaos is their only plan. So, I will leave it up to the pundits to debate the nuances between morally bankrupt and corrupt administrations. To me, it's all more of the same.  I feel like many of these news stories are contrived to serve as a distraction from Gaza. Even if a ceasefire is reached it would be safe to assume that the killing would still continue. Despite that I feel like we are approaching the end of this chapter of this all around tragedy. Due to the fact that the occupation is characterized by their complete lack of any intelligent restraint. They have managed to lose all their sympathy and have turned the entire civilized world against them. You’ve lost the plot; your turn to the dark side is complete. The only ones still standing with them are their paid schills. To them, I would like to remind them of how that chapter in Revelations ends, when she is no longer useful to the wild beast, the beast dumps the harlot off its bac and eats her. Now you can target people like myself and call us crazy or whatever. Really you should be thanking us because we are only saying what everybody else is thinking. That’s what artists do. Do you think that if you are someone who advocates for the starvation children, that your opinion means anything to me? So go ahead, call me anything but broke. To remind some of you that not too long ago, what’s happening to the people in the West Bank was happening to Africans in America. Remember Tulsa 1921, remember Blac Wall Street. It’s not only about Gaza; every time I watch the news, I say to myself, it’s a wonderful world. No, I say this could actually be the apocalypse. Is that a fact? It's possible, but I don't have that information. I’m only a human being.  Whether it be floods, fires or wars it all seems quite apocalyptic to me. All the characters are in place the only one left who needs to show up is the Arch-Angel Michael. If it isn’t or if it is, this shouldn’t frighten you. It should inspire you that we are on the prefaces of something different, something better, something new. 

I’ll probably elaborate more on that later.  I would also like to discuss some other stuff. My life is truly a rollercoaster. Not to make it about me, but just to keep inquiring minds updated on where I’m at. My new computer is being built, and it should be ready this week. It's an ideal time to be a creative, with numerous new and excellent tools available.  I’m still in that transitional stage of becoming a full-time artist. I’m not quite there yet, but give me about another 6 months, and I should be very close to freedom.  It’s that time of year. Remember to stay chill and hydrated by drinking plenty of water. I’m eating ice cream and taking two showers a day.  Honestly, I don’t press myself that hard creatively when it is this hot. In my experience, it's just not productive. Even if you are in an air conditioned studio, the magic doesn’t seem to spark like it otherwise would. Also, I have a lot of solid trax already completed, from here it’s just a matter of the visual presentation. Still, ideas and concepts are coming together, and I anticipate publishing new material soon after my new machine is complete. Alright, weoplez stay cool, stay safe. Spread Love and the Truth will set you free. Store your treasures in heaven the blessing we are receiving now will be like nothing compared to the rewards we will receive in the Kingdom of Jah. Life is too precious not to be joyful, happy, healthy, and grateful for every day, don’t take it for granted. The only positive I take away from Gaza is that it is causing an awakening in some of those who were once spiritually stagnant.  Ok, that’s it. Love ya, stay tuned, surprises coming soon!

It is July 13^th, 2025, I'm still alive, this has been your Apocalypse Report,

What’s going on everybody out there in cyberspace? I hope all is well with you of course. I will just jump into it because there’s a lot that I would like to touch on. I began writing these blogs as a convenient way to communicate, express myself, and stay in touch. I knew I would be in a transitional period in my life. I had to fade away so that I could reevaluate how I was doing things, so that I could reinvent myself and find a way to turn my creativity into a career. I didn’t know exactly how I was going to do that.  But I knew I would figure it out along the way, and the process is ongoing. I say all that just to let you know that this will be one of my last written blogs before I debut my music vlog.  Maybe not the very last one, but I am getting closer to my main goal of being able to put out music on a regular basis.  While making it a worthwhile, profitable endeavor for myself.  Even when I get to that point, I will still write blogs.  But I’m going to lead with the music because I feel like that’s how I express myself best. I know that the only way to get people to care about your music is to have an appealing visual aspect to draw listeners in.  I had to think about what I can realistically do consistently and have a trajectory of profitability in the near term. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, also I would draw inspiration from some of the short-form video clips that I find pleasing to look at, but are also getting a decent amount of traffic online. That helped me to come up with my formula. It’s not just one thing, it’s several different elements that I want to bring together to tell a story. One of the main aspects that I wanted to incorporate, which I didn’t have much experience with, is 3D and 4D motion graphics. When you are first learning a new application, it’s similar to learning a different language. You’re a bit lost until you at least have a loose grasp of the basic fundamentals and terminology. Also, what I had to figure out is, out of all the different software applications out there, which do what it is that I want them to do. How much money do I need to spend, right now? There are a numerous amount of creator tools and resources, but most of them come with their own subscription cost. There are only so many subscriptions you can carry until at least the business itself starts generating revenue. These are industry level professional tools, so they can get pricey. For the motion graphics I own a basic version of the software already because it comes free with my adobe subscription. I had to figure out is if that’s going to be enough or if I need to ante up for the full version. Even if I have to buy it, which I am the only question is when, it’s a tax deduction. When I bring everything together, then add the music, I think it’ll make for some cool media that people will get into. They are instrumentals the goal is to get them licensed for TV, movies and video games. In the meantime, if I can monetize that content on social media, it will create an additional revenue stream that could generate faster than waiting for TV royalties to start coming in. From what I understand it can take a while possibly years for a sync license producer to build up to a full-time income. Now you probably noticed that I myself am not on any social media platforms. Don’t worry about that because I will be, and there are people who specialize in building and managing social media platforms for you. They know all the latest trends and algorithms because that’s all they do. So, it is not as important for someone like myself to learn that part of the business as it is for me to come up with the money to pay an expert to do it for me. I love to outsource things that I hate to do. You can pay with time or with money. For me, it is more advantageous to pay with cash and spend my time doing what I should be doing. Being that weird guy who stays in the studio for 10 and 12 hour sessions at a time doing that super tedious work that nobody else wants to do, but I enjoy it. For now that is the plan but you never know plans do change you have to be flexible, innovative and creative. The main point to take from this is that new music will be coming your way soon. It’s going to be a slow burn. I will start with some simple projects, then keep building to more complex work.

So I’m watching this super interesting program right now called Animal Pharm. It’s a play on words after that Russian animated film, Animal Farm, that they had us watch in the 9^th grade. Where the animals who lived on this farm were abused by their human owners. Eventually, the animals rose up and overthrew humans. What happened eventually is that the pigs who were like the politicians of the farm became corrupt and started acting just like the humans before them, abusing their power and the other animals. It’s political satire, I believe it’s a parody of the Russian revolution. What’s funny is that this show, Animal Pharm, is actually about harvesting organs from animals, specifically pigs. So, in the film the pigs become like the people, but on this show people are becoming part pig—either way, a super interesting topic. It's great to see this industry advancing. This is some uplifting, positive, hopeful news to report on. Lord knows we need that in current times.  It would actually put me out of a job. You know I’m a truck driver but what I do specifically is deliver dialysis fluid. It’s so amazing to see what it takes to replace one small organ in our body. It’s a whole entire multi billion dollar industry. People can wait on those kidney transplant list for years, unless they have a relative who is willing to donate in a trade or exchange. Even sometimes, when they get a transplant, their body might reject it. Even if the surgery is a complete success it only lasts 10 years. It’s great to see modern medicine advancing to the point where it ends this type of suffering. I believe that’s one of many reasons we’re not supposed to eat pork. That’s just my own personal belief, not telling you what to do, you can eat what you want, besides the fact that pigs are surprisingly intelligent. I’ve always heard that their physiology is remarkably similar to our own. This is my own personal philosophy that leads me to reason that whenever there's something that millions of people do out of tradition or religion. There’s probably an actual scientific reason, but that information was lost to us. So I often try to research potential reasons why. If a farmworker falls into a pig trough, they can be eaten alive when we do keep pigs as livestock in large quantities. They are often intelligent enough to escape captivity, where even a domesticated pig will revert to being a wild boar they breed and multiply like crazy. They usually will wreak complete havoc on their surrounding environment. There’s an entire industry behind hunting down and killing these rogue hogs. That’s what the show American Hoggers was about. That’s what leads me to believe that pigs were meant to be kept in small quantities so that we could pharm their organs not eat their flesh. There’s some evidence that the Ancient Egyptians did this.

On a different topic, Friday was Endangered Species Day. We shouldn’t have just one Endangered Species Day; we should highlight a different endangered species every day.

Alrighty then people, let’s get right into this discussion. When we last left off, we talked a little about the bioengineering of human organs to address the critical shortage. The advances in this field show a lot of promise inspiring hope for all those affected by some degree of organ failure. Since this blog is about critical thinking and to take it a bit further, just as much about fourth dimensional thinking outside of the box.  With that being said let’s get into the philosophical portion of the thesis.  Philosophy continues to be one of my most significant interests as I view it as the bridge between spiritual and logical science. With myself attempting to serve as a voice of reason between these different planes of thought. People often think of science and faith as being vastly different and contrary to each other.  Which they are but since two things can be true at once.  There are also a lot of commonalities and evidence linking the two. These are the areas I like to focus on for my thought exploration exercises. This topic of bioengineering organs brings to mind the scripture in Genesis where God created Eve for Adam. It says God created Eve by taking a rib from Adam’s side. Doesn’t this sound similar to the areas of science like bioengineering body parts? Of course, Genesis was written by someone in the first century who didn’t have the proper terminology to describe something like this that he had been inspired to write. Even when the Bible talks about how God first created Adam, it says he was created from dust. If I were a writer long before the first century, I wouldn’t know what atoms and molecules were because they hadn’t been discovered yet. I would probably describe them as dust particles. The point that I am trying to make by drawing all these comparisons is the nature of how we think about what God is, because of the false reasoning of many religious organizations. The image we tend to think of is some magical guy with a long white beard floating on a marshmallow cloud in the sky. When in actually shouldn’t we be looking at God as being the master scientist, the original scientist that has been around longer than we could possibly comprehend. I do not find it difficult to believe that there were civilizations that existed in this universe before us. Mathematically, this is the most likely scenario. Perhaps one of these civilizations had a lot to do with our creation. The ancient astronaut theory is based on the scenario that if we encountered a society that was technologically a hundred thousand years ahead of us, we would consider them angels or gods.  Imagine a million years or even a billion. There is literally mountains of evidence that suggest this. Ancient Aliens is in like what? 15 seasons.  The guy who was my best friend growing up. Long before he fried his brain with meth. As kids we would have sleepovers, and we would stay up all night and have these deep philosophical conversations about religion, spirituality and God. Ok, well, honestly, mostly we would stay up all night and just talk about girls. Occasionally, other subjects would slip in there. One of the significant conclusions we came to was that instead of thinking of God as some far off entity.  Think of him as a real person. Not a person in the sense that we are a person made of flesh and bones, but a real individual with their own thoughts and emotions. The scriptures say that we were created in God’s image, perhaps billions of years ago, God was something similar to what we call a human. If there is an architect of this universe, as I believe there is. Don’t you want to be on his good side? I personally will try not to do anything to damage that relationship. The question that I get a lot is: if there is a God, why is life so horrible and unfair? That’s a whole other lengthy discussion on it’s own. The short answer is this because perhaps the reward for passing the test of life on this living hell prison planet is really just that incredible. Imagine a reward beyond anything you could possibly comprehend, like your own planet to populate as you see fit, build it into what you would imagine a paradise to be. It’s theoretically possible there are an unlimited number of planets to be discovered and cultivated. I think that God is just trying to make sure he is not populating the Universe with assholes. Relating back to the film Animal Farm. It greatly reminds me of the story in the book of Numbers where this guy Balaam was riding his donkey on the road and God put an angel in his path. The angel has a sword and was there to kill this guy. The donkey can see the angel but Balaam cannot, so when the donkey veers from the road Balaam starts to beat the donkey. This happens three times before the donkey gives up and just lies down.  So Balaam gets pissed and really starts beating the snot out the animal. What happens next, is as the parable goes is that God causes the donkey to be able to speak. Now this is how I imagine that hilarious interaction would have went. First off, I imagine that the donkey sounds like Eddie Murphy in Shrek. He’s like “OOOOOWWWWW WHY YOU KEEP HITTING ME FOOL?”. Then Balaam says the most Homer Simpson thing ever in the Bible when he says: “Because you're trying to make a fool out of me. If I had a sword I’d kill you.” It would be funny if the donkey replied to him like: “Yeah well you don’t but you want to know who does? That guy”. Just then God opens his eyes and allows Balaam to see the angel. The angel is like: “I was going to kill you bro and let the donkey go. He saved your life.” You can go read the whole thing if you want Numbers 22. The funniest part of this story is that the guy didn’t react with utter amazement when the donkey started speaking. It’s like in the Garden of Eden when the snake started speaking to Eve. In both of these situations my reaction would have been: “So you can talk? Well, this is certainly new”. It reminds me of that commercial where the guy is in the middle of that desolate paradise lagoon. Then a dolphin swims up to him, looking annoyed and asks: “So how did you find this place?” Looking a little bewildered, the man answers: “Yahoo.” The Dolphin says: "Oh" just turns and starts to swim away. The man shouts: “Wait …….. How’d you learn to talk?” The Dolphin casually replies, “Yahoo”. Then, he just swims away. I thought that one was clever and funny. Anyhow, I’ve become a bit more spiritual as of late, seeing what drastic, tragic, psychotic direction the world has shifted toward.  It helps me find hope beyond what we can see and touch in our own physical realm. I believe it could help others. Otherwise, I would not write about it. I have to say these things now, because if not, I might not ever get to say them. While I could be wrong, it does seem like the clock is starting to count down to Judgment Day. I am not ever trying to tell you what to think. This blog is based on my own personal experiences. My thoughts on the Holy Scriptures are this: I believe the Bible is divine,  but not infallible. Due to the fact that it was written and interpreted by men. There are many different versions and interpretations.  Although they all carry the same common theme. The phrase that comes to mind is. “Yes, God gave us a book, but he also gave us a brain. Let’s try to use them both in conjunction with each other.” Before I move on to the next topic. I wanted to say the Bible is man’s word. Jesus was God’s word. I had to get that out. Now moving on to something different.

I wanted to discuss motion graphics and business a little further. In my limited free time, I've been studying and learning the process for a few months now. Keep in mind that people go to school for years to learn this specialized skillset. While I don’t plan on diving that deep into that world. I mainly just want to generate some cool, unique visual effects to accompany my trax. In the past when I wanted to edit a new kind of visual into a video. I was able to find some excellent step by step tutorials to follow along with. For what I want to do particularly, there’s not much information to learn from. So it’s been a little more time consuming to get up to speed with what it is that I want to do. On the flip side of that when I do get up to speed. There won’t be many people if anyone is doing what I’m doing, at least at first. If I can prove it to be a successful formula for digital media. Not only does it become an unlimited supply of exciting content, but it also becomes a service to offer, as well as a digital product in the form of templates for other artists to showcase their own music, which can potentially be another lucrative revenue stream in its own right. I mentioned sync license production earlier which I think is a good opportunity. To be quite honest with you I believe the real potential lies elsewhere. In licensing, people pay you to use your music to sell their products. That equation can be modified. You can use your music to sell your own products. In 2025 I began my self-publishing journey. Publishing books online is a natural fit for me. Since I am a writer I mine as well become an author. Soon, I will jump into the deep end of this business with both feet.In some ways, it’s very similar to what I was doing before with my online store. Except with 75 percent less headache and hassle. Because everything is digital, no physical inventory is required. I want to give you some background on my physical product. It wasn’t a failure it got good ratings people like it and I sold thousands of units. At the same time it was not a success either, I never made it to a large enough margin of profitability to sustain the business. Because of rising manufacturing costs after the pandemic, I would have had to sell it at a price I didn’t think was a good deal for the consumer.  Long story short, dealing with physical products and international shipping can quickly become a money pit and a nightmare.Because of that and several other factors I folded the company. This happens with online sales you can consider it part of the learning process, and I did learn a whole lot. The product I was selling is pretty cool. I believed in it and I still do, it’s just not a company and never will be. That said, I still have a few hundred units leftover in my warehouse aka my storage unit.  The plan is to give them away when I start my Patreon. The difference between what I’m doing now compared to what I was doing then is not only not having to deal with physical products. This makes it much more beginner friendly and much less capital intensive. One of the cons of running a cash intensive business is that when opportunities come along if most of your money is tied up in inventory you can't take advantage, you can miss out on good investments. Then all I did was buy a course that did not include any additional support along the way. To help you with critical decisions like choosing your first product. This is not to blame anyone, even though my product checked all the boxes provided to me in the course. Even the software I was using told me it was a decent idea. Still due to inexperience I managed to choose the most difficult category I could have possibly chosen to start in. Still, it was a unique, good product, so I saw a measure of success.  The platform kept changing the rules and moving the goal post until finally they just nuked the entire category. Which is fine I pulled my inventory and moved on with my life. Some of my competitors were hurt way worse than I was because they were more deeply invested. I see them online still trying to liquidate their inventory. They’re selling off their products so cheap that even I had to buy some. Even if I had succeeded with what's going on now with trade will put 90% of online 3^rd party sellers out of business. With digital products, I don’t have to worry about any of that. All the products are manufactured in my skull. Also the program I am now in includes a coaching component which pairs you with an experienced, successful self-publisher to consult with. In order to get you the strongest start possible and prevent you from wasting resources or making critical errors that could tank your entire business before you even get started. It includes a money back guarantee and a timeline of about 12 months to get you to five figures a month. It could take a little longer but it could happen even sooner. They are people making a lot more money than that, some self-publishers are doing six and even seven figure months particularly during quarter four. It depends on you.  At this point I have a considerable amount of resources to put into this venture and I feel very motivated to level up to the next stage of my life. In Self publishing you are not tied down to a product to have to receive and ship. You're not tied down to job so you can travel. You can manage your business from anywhere in the world with a laptop and wifi. The best part is the majority of the work can be outsourced. So in a year from now I can be semi-retired, God willing. Actually, the best part is that you will have built something that you own. Your own corporation you have freedom, and passive royalties. You can do what you please with the business even sell it. Now while the publishing business is going to be completely separate from my music brand at least at first. When the publishing starts going strong, it will catapult what I’m able to do musically. Particularly when I’m able to quit my job. At that point I’m really going to be able to spread my wings and soar. In the future once I learn and become proficient in both businesses. The videos could catalyze a high level of publishing success. The publishers who are really killing it are not buying ads. Instead they have learned to leverage social media traffic into wildly successful ventures. The trend that’s starting to emerge as a winning business model is marketing your digital products through the various short form video platforms.  If you can successfully direct that traffic towards your online storefronts. There are examples of people leveraging one viral video into six and seven-figure companies. Of course you're not going just to post one video and get rich. You'll have to show up daily and upload hundreds of videos to find your audience. So that’s one of the reasons I’m studying and practicing with the 4D motion graphics. This business is a good fit for me it’s based on creativity and imagination. Anything that you can dream up is potentially a new product with little overhead to create and send to market. With this new strategy keep in mind that I don’t necessarily need to be the face of it. The media itself can be the star. The products themselves can have the spotlight.I can just be the driving force behind the company.  That’s one of the reasons I’m choosing to just produce instrumentals for now. I believe that will help me appeal to the broadest audience possible. We will see, I’m still learning and building but that is the direction I can see things going towards. When you re-imagine and restructure your business model things don’t always manifest overnight. One reason for the blog is to keep people in the loop in the meantime.  Once I start rolling it’s just a matter of repetition and consistency. Things are definitely starting to turn the corner for me and pretty soon I will be publishing media fast and furiously. Before that starts to happen, the main big thing I need to do is buy a new computer. My old one works fine I’m working on it now as I write this. It’s just time for a much more powerful machine. That can handle the massive amount of workload I’m about to put it through. Also it’s good to have two computers if one goes down you can still be online and work while the other is being repaired. I mentioned I would do this a few years ago, but it wasn’t a good time financially nor a necessity. Within the next few days I’ll head on down to the local computer shop and put in my order for my new build. Now I have the resources to build a real beast. From there when I get it home I just need to install all my software and we will be up and rolling. Money is so funny when you’re hurting; nobody wants to give you any. Once you get some everybody wants to give you all this free money. You go from a position where you're like Dam, I can’t buy anything extra, to If I don’t start buying stuff, I’m losing money. It’s all about getting on the left side of that interest equation. Collecting it instead of paying it.

 Alright, everybody. I will try to wrap this blog post up today. It’s funny when you put time in between your writings, even if it's only a week or two, and the whole world has changed. Is it fair to say that World War 3 has officially begun? The“Apocalypse Report,” does anybody have that as a name for their podcast? Or can I use it? Just for documentation purposes, I want to state that this week in June, as we are already engaged in full scale warfare with Russia. We have without provocation for no reason we have illegally attacked Persia. In the attack which is considered an act of terrorism due to the fact that mostly civilians were massacred when their apartment building was bombed in the middle of the night. In order to assassinate civilian nuclear scientist. Because they’re so scared that these Persians might one day be capable of defending themselves from the unholy terror (the wild beast being ridden by the drunk harlot- reference: Revelations 17-22) unleashed upon them. This is from a country that spends more money on war than every other country worldwide combined. Even though they couldn’t balance their budget even if they wanted to, literally, the interest is too high. Any gesture to do so is pure political theatre. Put on by the actors in Washington. By far the largest slice of that budget is the Pentagon, at a trillion dollars to a department that failed its last 16 audits and cannot account for 60% of its own budget. Then there's this elaborate surade of pretending like they're trying to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. When in actually they are just taking their turn to raid the piggy bank.  It’s the oldest scam in the book we’ve all seen Casino. A big briefcase in the money room skim off the top. Distract everyone with meaningless culture war issues. The most surprising thing is that the public is so sedated that they're allowed to get away with it.  American politics have become so corrupt that they are not even interesting enough to watch anymore. Special interest corporate money sets all policy on the federal level. The richest and most powerful among them being the weapons manufacturers and war profiteers. 

Listen, I started writing the portion of this blog where I discussed South Africa and my thoughts on synthetic meat. I just feel like right now, it’s a little inappropriate due to the whole WW3 situation going down. Let’s watch and see where this escalation climaxes. I will put those thoughts into a separate blog in the near future. While we are talking about movies, what about that guy who was the only survivor of that Indian plane crash. He walked away from it with barely a scratch like a superhero. I’m not trying to downplay the severity of this horrible tragedy, but talk about life imitating art; that’s the opening scene of Unbreakable. Well, it’s finally time for me to put an end to this month long written rant. You can be sure I will soon return with more. If you do not hear from me for a short while, it’s only because I’m busy setting up my new computer and installing all my software. Look out for more fitness and health-related content. Right now we have to really take our health and well being into our own hands. The forces that have gained power in this country are actively trying to get people hurt and make them ill, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, I like to add. Which has always been the case in this country but as of late, it has been exacerbated to the max. They are succeeding massively in their efforts. That also explains the assaults on educational institutions. A population that is ill, stupid, misinformed, weak, in debt and uneducated is going to be a lot easier to control than one that is the contrary of that. I want to do my part to counteract the lies and deception. All new music and videos are coming your way soon. I just have to make sure the timing and presentation are on point, so that my time, hard work, and artistry are properly appreciated and as a result monetized accordingly.  As always Muuuuccccccchhhhhhh Love to all my whipalizations! I wish you the best as well as success with no stress. Stay tuned I will return soon. Until then this has been your Apocalypse Report.

Its 2 Dam hot to type, My effing keyboard just might ignite, 

but I’m busy composing and designing instrumentals that's ultra-sounding tight, 

they inspire me to write, I want to be Like Michael Knight,

All the Ladies that sent me a message Yes I received your kite, 

So I wanted to respond and say hello and goodnite,

And a business plan is coming together if you’re going to do it, do it right,

No Lie, we fLy high, Light up the sky like the 4^th of juLy,

Making beats that’s so High Voltage I need to plug in my surge protector and power supply,

I Hate America? NO, I AM AMERICA I BEG YOUR PARDON,

I was raised in Kalani Village, New Havesha and the Hawaiian Gardens,

all Section 8 apartments,

and if you know what I mean, we can go deep like a submarine,

This titanium wont implode, but there’s so much energy, 

channeled in to me, if you tap into me, the grid might overload,

Don’t get it distorted, I’m creating content unlike anything b4 it,

Executives cant ignore it, I record it, they report it,

Now look up in the sky there’s an armada in orbit,

And you can hover with them but only if you can afford it,

Any pain they can inflict you best believe I can absorb it,

Do you think that you’re more important, just because you went to Harvard? 

If you think that these man-made intuitions have any real solutions,

Your jumping to conclusions, seeking acceptance and inclusion, but its all just an illusion,

Education is essential but its your brain Not a piece of paper that defines you,

What you are truly searching for in your hart of hearts will find you,

Do you feel as if you’ve lost your way well here let me remind you,

That you have Angels behind you,

I can sense their vibe and their mood, they tell me when to make my movez,

I may need to do a round of funding, and what I mean by that is me getting on my grizzly and hustling,  

But that aint nothing new, it’s a psychotic, schizophrenic, manic, unstable world it’s true,

But we stick together like a crew, bound by glue,

Like Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toadstool, we will make it through,

And for doing all the things that you do, I'm so grateful for you, and Congratulations too,

What’s going on everybody? I welcome you again to the show. This is going to be a brief journal entry. I just wanted to drop in and say hello and give my thoughts after this first week of 2023. In the short term you might see more of these short format blogs from me. As I carve out more time to produce, create and edit. I hope the new year is treating you well so far. For me I thought this first week was going to be more challenging than it actually was. I was expecting some really awful weather but it really wasn’t that bad. We had a few fierce storms blow through but nothing really extreme. As far as things happening in the world goes, as I watch my newsfeed and observe world events. I am continually reminded of that scene from Watchmen. It’s from 2009 but still one of the best superhero movies to date.  It’s the scene with Owlman and the Comedian. Now the Comedian is a character that seems to be based off the Joker. His outlook on life and the world was this all must be a joke. But not funny in the way of humor but funny in the sense of irony and absurdity. So he decided to become a parody of life itself. So in this there’s this huge chaotic riot taking place. Owlman emotionally looks over at the Comedian and says: “What happened to us? What happened to the American dream?” With a maniacal smile on his face Comedian brashly responds: “What happened? It came true your looking at it”. That scene has always stuck with me and that line pretty much sums it all up for me. I have a few thoughts on some the events of the week that stood out for me. To football player who had the cardiac event during the game. I do send him my thoughts and prayers and wish him a full recovery and a long life of good health. In regards to the controversy surrounding the incident I would like to say. There is no controversy. American football is violent and dangerous and there is risk involved, but it’s not bad violence because it’s competition not malicious violence.  We live in a society where we’ve worked to minimize the danger involved in these hazardous professions a lot of us have chosen. Like me I’m a truck driver at least for now. I realize that every time I get on the freeway I take my life in my hands. No should get hurt or God forbid killed just for doing their job but the risk still exist. All we can do try to be as safe as possible. 

Switching gears, I heard the Taliban has banned all women girls and from attending any college or even high school. Come on guys this is petty and ridiculous. This is me sincerely trying to be the voice of reason to you. This is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. The women of your nation are your greatest and most valuable resource.  As they are that of any culture.  Instead of acting like a jealous boyfriend a smart leader would realize to make the most of their people they should be educated so they can contribute to their society for the benefit of all. A forward moving society should rally around it’s best and brightest to elevate them as a whole. Notice I didn’t say its most successful. Due to the fact that some have gained success because they are just more opportunistic than others. Besides the ability to exploit and manipulate opportunistic are not necessarily bringing any talent or innovation to the table to help move society forward. Back to my original point. How are you going to find the best and brightest of your society, those diamonds in the rough those special people the geniuses who elevate everyone around them, if you are suppressing half your population. Your chances of finding those once in a generation individuals are greatly diminished.  As far as human behavior is concerned those who feel mistreated by authorities tend to respond by lashing out and abusing and oppressing those who they have authority over. For example a child who is abused by a parent may turn around and abuse his siblings or bully his classmates. I draw a comparison to how countries like Afghanistan and Iran have been kept under the thumb and society completely destroyed by some western powers. This is not a critic of mine but rather just an observation. To part of the reason why governments are reacting in this manner with these gross human rights violations. So that in the future when reasonable sane people control the world. We can look at the big picture get to the root of the problem. Create some real solutions instead of only trying to profit off of people’s dire situation for selfish gain. All the people of the world who are unjustly persecuted are worthy of our support. I will continue to speak out against regimes as long as they continue to oppress women. 

Switching gears recently saw a commercial for a show I’m not going to watch. I’m not discouraging you from watching it I don’t watch a lot of TV anyways due to my pretty full life schedule. Anyhow the show is about celebrating 50 years hip hop. Not to be the one to rain the parade I just wanted to point that unlike any other music genre in the world, hip hop has become a culture where 80% percent of those who become really successful at it are murdered usually by their peers. Over the years hip hop has allowed itself to become the vehicle that corporations along with the private prison industry have been able to use glorify murder, death, incarceration and criminality to children. I don’t say this to disparage the artform. I say this so we can remove the poison from our culture. End these horrible trends, move forward in a more positive direction towards brighter future that brings prosperity to all. That’s all for now cool people I have much more to say but I have other matters to attend to today.   

It’s a brand New Year we head to week two I’m still grateful for you, 

More content to come and some sweet surprises to,   

I see you with you with your posse looking quite flossy, 

I’m like this silky is so smoove an saucy, 

Yeah the weather is kinda frosty, 

But you know that won’t stop me, 

from making more beatz like the way you make the coffee, 

I hope you have a Lovely evening and a groovy weekend with your family or your friendz, 

But I’m bout to get Lights Out so I can get up early and hit the gym, 

The last thing I want to say b4 I go away, 

Is everything you do is tight, and outta of sight, Dy-No-Mite

the way you work the camera and control the mic, 

I hope you have a smoove flight, 

Good Dreams and a pleasant night =)

First off what’s up to all the Silkys? I like that word. If I ever start streaming a podcast that’s going to be my catchphrase. For now, this is me staying in touch, So what’s good everybody no matter where you may be land, space, or sea as always I hope all my Friendz are doing just as well as me. This won’t be a long update I just wanted to say Hello since the last few weeks I’ve just been writing flowz. That’s just me having fun with news and headlines remember I’m a poet not a pundit.  There’s so much going on seems like the whole world is on the brink. Seems like the four horsemen of the apocalypse are galloping at a full pace. What doesn’t make sense is the solutions are right in front of our face. I could go on forever about the deficiencies and out right insanities in our systems and society. A few years ago I would have but that’s when I still believed we lived in a world where logic and reason were still a factor. They are not, instead they have been replaced with ideology and greed.  I am not discouraged and you shouldn’t be either. The Universe still speaks to me it was about six weeks ago they sent me a sign. I interpreted the sign to mean for me everything is going to be fine. So, you see when I do the things that I do it because my concern is for others and people like you. I want to transition back over to a realm were things still make sense a realm of melodies and rhythm. I plan to delve deeper into my music productions. Since platform and audience wise, I’m pretty much starting over from scratch. Which is fine I feel at the end of the day it’ll make me a stronger producer. I plan to start off by posting instrumentals to tik tok and my blog of course. I’m going to go further into the animation too so that the videos have that visual aspect. I really like the idea of focusing on producing instrumentals for a while, because as a beatmaker I am not restricted by making a trac that someone has to sing over. I can just let my imagination run wild for a time. You can make songs that are very complex and long and you can tell your story with many layered sounds and breakdowns and change ups. It’s a new challenge that help get my left brain working in new directions, and not just urban and r&b stylez all kinds different sounds, flavors and vibes.  Then as I find and grow my audience we’ll get back to the live videos and miniature films. It shouldn’t be to difficult producing beats comes pretty easily to not only just by nature but also because I’ve been doing it for twenty years, and I’ve always been able to come up with bangers ever since day one. I could do it in my sleep and sometimes I do dream up new song ideas. I think for people like myself artists creating the music is the easy part. It’s just what we do and we enjoy it, but it’s life and everything that surrounds it that can be intricate, that’s why most will quit, but would I do that? When all it takes to change your life is for one song to be hit. I know what I am capable of and if I had the time the resources and the platform to speak, I could make a hit song for every day of the week. I also have ideas for creator collabs with those who I feel could benefit from my beats that are unique, neat and certified heat. I also want to collab with some live musicians too so that everything is not just strictly produced. I want to prove myself as a musician and focus on the music not the antics. This music thing has caused some pretty incredible amazing things to occur in my life so I have to see where this path is going to take me. 

                                                 Fifty Dollar Treadmill Update 

So I am very happy to let you know that the fifty dollar treadmill still works like it’s brand new runs smooth as butter. You know most home work out equipment just plain doesn’t work. Due to the fact that people don’t use them. One of the biggest aspects of a successful business is resource allocation. When you are a large business, your resources are capitol, talent and labor. When you are a one man company like myself when you’re talking about resources you’re talking about time and energy. So the reason I haven’t been writing as much lately is I’ve been spending more time training. It something I haven’t really done before in that it is a consistent, high volume of intense cardio training. I run on the treadmill everyday no matter what. I believe anyone could do this because I just started with whatever I could handle. If it was only 12-15 minutes that’s what I would do. Over time I gradually increased the time I would be on. My technique works like this, I always start with a 3 minute warmup. Walking at a fast steady pace. Every minute I increase the pace by a half a mile per hour. Then I start with a steady jog just fast enough so I’m running not fast walking. Then I go as long as I can based on how I feel and how much time I have that day. Once I’ve started running, I try not to take a break. I just run until I physically feel like I can’t run anymore then I do a 3 minute cool down. Slowly decreasing the pace until I’m finished. In the last 8 weeks I’ve only missed day and that was 7 weeks ago. I do it every day so that my body gets used to and it becomes very functional at it. I’m not running very fast right it’s between 4 and 5 mph. The first month I would try to do at least 30 minutes, and that’s usually if I had a hard day at work and I have to get up early the next day, and that’s always with a 3-minute warm-up and a 3-minute cool down, so I would actually on the treadmill for a total of 36 minutes. I always try to push myself a little bit further than previous days and a little out of my comfort zone. Towards the end of last month if I had the time I could easily do 45 minutes straight running or even an up to an hour if I was feeling good. Even if I go the gym that day and do resistance training for two hours, I still come home and run for up to an hour. The pace at which I can push myself is increasing steadily and I’m shredding body fat relatively quik, I’m getting good results and I like that. I feel great it’s like a cheat card for building positive energy. Everyday is a good day, Everyday something cool happens. My motto for life and business is if something is working keep doing it. For the industry I would like to break into, the creator, influencer game your image is important. Especially within the health and fitness realm looking the part is mandatory. In this sport your competition is yourself your are always pushing yourself to break own personal best. It gives you such an air of confidence when you are able. Yesterday I shattered my old record huge margin when I ran for 90 minutes straight through no breaks. After fighting your own thoughts to take a break and enduring all the way through a long run. You feel so psyched your like oh hell yeah I did it. Sometimes I’ll watch TV while running although I don’t really like to. I don’t listen music when I run. I don’t want rely on passion or adrenaline to make through the run. I just like to zone completely out and just run. When you get into flow and start feeling good it almost like you outside of your physical body accessing your Astro-body, it feels like you can run forever. Of course, water helps room temperature is better than ice cold because it absorbs into your system faster. The other thing that helps out is caffeine. To see physical changes, occur so rapidly is really motivating, it pushes you to do better and make changes in other aspects of your fitness life. You sleep better and even your food will digest better. Definitely a good way to blow off steam. When you start leveling up your health and fitness you even start feeling more alive and you’ll even notice your cosmic powers will increase. Don’t worry I’m not becoming obsessive with this. I do feel like an hour is to much time for cardio. Especially you do have many other things to do during the course of a day.  When you run for and hour and a half after you come down off that exercise high you tend to pass out for a while. Right now, I would consider myself to be in an experimental phase. I want to see how hard and how much I can push my body and more importantly what results they will yield. Before I getty up on out of here I wanted to mention that I saw the new Super Mario Bros movie trailer. I think it looked good. Now I’m more of Sega Genesis baby, on a side note I just wanted to say that (Nights into Dreams) was so far ahead of its time, so I’m on team Sonic, but I wish the Sonic movies were made more like how it looks like this Mario Bros movie was made. I like the Sonic movies overall but I really disliked them bringing Sonic into the so called real world. All the goofy, slapstick, bad sitcom live characters that weren’t in the game and really have nothing to do with Sonic the Hedgehog, they were all horrible, idiotic, and unnecessary. I don’t mean Jim Carrey he was great like he is in everything he does. So, it seems like once again team Nintendo will win another round. Hopefully they will reboot the Sonic movie franchise and just give us a CGI world minus convoluted goofy nonsense sitcom characters. Alright I’m going to wrap this one there’s some veggie burgers and kombucha downstairs calling my name. Next weekend I have to once again do my meal prep but you never know I might post something. As you know this past year has been really wild for but things are starting stabilize and I’m falling into a good routine. I feel really good and motivated and I hope you do as well. Within the beginning of the new year this will be a full fledge music blog I will be posting new music here weekly and then daily. Until then I hope you continue to look out for me, I appreciate you and I will continue to stay in touch. A special shot out to all the Silkys staaay Smooove!!! 

The Path of the Hurricane Leaves so Much Pain, but isn't it Beautiful?

I’m so delighted that you decided to join me once again so we can spend some quality time together as we continue on this journey of learning and discovery. “I hope you’ve been having a summer full of joy and wonder, I hope you have a freezer full of cool treats to help you beat the heat”. I particularly enjoy blueberries stuffed inside of raspberries a flavor combo that was meant to be. Being a driver in addition to being a writer works well together. With all the time I spend on the road I’m able to take the time to formulate my thoughts and plan how I want to put them in to words and present them to you. Which is the toughest part once you actually know what you want to say typing it out is not that difficult. I feel like I’m still catching with these blogs. I want to get where I feel like I’ve told my story up to a certain point and have said all the things I wanted to say. The goal is to get to where I’m writing these in real time as life happens to me. Sometimes you have to wait a little bit in order to be able to tell a complete story. One of the reasons I haven’t been popping these as fast as I would like to, is I’ve been trying to get caught on workouts. So the last few weeks I’ve devoting a little more of my time and energy on that. Now although I haven’t regained my peak condition yet, but I’ve gained some ground. So I wanted to take some time out to do some writing today so I’m working out at home today. When I last left off I spoke about finding my groove. What I meant by that is finding right balance in different aspects of your life. Building a good routine that’s works for you so you are able to follow it consistently and you feel productive. Which I feel is really important because it has to be one of the worst feelings in life to just feel like you’re stagnant or losing progress. I would say that also includes doing the same thing over and over only to not achieve the intended results so, of course we will always continue to adjust and improve upon that routine as we learn and grow. With the goal of becoming the best version of ourselves that we can possibly become. Keep in mind even thou I don’t always address it I realize that there are countless numbers of people worldwide enduring critical times, suffering and being persecuted. My thought process is this that us being the blessed ones how can we help others who suffer if were not at the top of our game? I realize what we’re up against and it will be a difficult crusade. A wise young man once said “My momma made me rugged baptized the public” Remember that it’s not necessary to compare yourself to other people. Concern yourself with maximizing your own potential. Everybody’s individual experience will differ. The last few years I’ve learned a lot about personality types in particular my own. The information I received was very beneficial in me understanding myself as well as the world around me.  Although I am not an expert on the subject, I will continue to refer to it throughout these blogs. When it comes to my own personality type the feeling of being productive is very important to our wellbeing.  While a good routine consists several different components differing depending on who you are and your schedule. No matter who you may be one of the integral pieces of the puzzle is nutrition. This week’s blog will have a lot to do with food and the business of food. 

                                                                   Shark Tank 

Throughout the last few years one of the biggest influences on realigning my outlook on life has been “ABC’s Shark Tank”. For this analogy keeping with this week’s theme, I’m going to compare media to food. Now there’s a lot of food out there that are quite simply poison. They contain or are treated with ingredients that don’t occur in nature; I call them micro-poisons. They don’t kill right away but they do become very toxic over periods of time. There also is a lot junk food out their food that might taste good but doesn’t contain any real nutritional value to fuel or heal the body. Today’s media landscape can be looked at in the same way. A lot of media content is mental poison created to manipulate and or misinform. Then a lot of it can be considered junk content. Maybe it’s entertaining but you don’t really learn anything or take anything away from it, no real substance.  Shark Tank is the antidote. First off it has an interesting cast of self-made moguls. The show itself is interesting and has real world stakes and consequences in addition to that its educational it’s an introductory lesson in business. It showcases real people similar to you, who’ve been able to drastically change their life for the better. One of the most important elements to the program is the role model aspect. Earlier in life my role models were very different kinds of people. Shark Tank opens your eyes to an actual path forward to a better way of life. It’s a very inspirational program. Its beneficial to see those with admirable qualities and traits that you can aspire to emulate. So, this actually happened to me a few months before I moved. I’m home chillin in my room watching shark tank. I’m not looking at the TV I’m doing something else looking down but listening. Then I hear the epic voice guy say “next in the tank Jonathan Justice”. I look up in a state of shock to see this guy I used to work with strolling into the shark tank with his very attractive female counterpart. So, do you remember the electronics company that dumped me a few years ago? The one where the man who hired me was the ex-pro wrestler. Well, Jon Justice worked with me there except he had been let go about a year prior to the company dissolving. By the way that’s not his real name it’s just what I’m calling him for the sake of the story. The funny part of story is that the first time we worked together me and that guy got into it a little bit on the jobsite. Now let me say that these things happen. People get all up inside their emotions and lose their cool sometimes. At the time we were both pretty new he started like three months before. Without getting too deep into the weeds because the details aren’t important. The company put us in bad predicament. The put us on a site that we couldn’t possibly finish. We were supposed to have four labor ready helpers none of them showed up mostly because for whatever reason the dispatcher didn’t put in the order. So yeah, it was one of those days.  Different people handle stressful situation in different ways. I believe his way of getting out of this job was creating a disagreement with me. I fell for it and somethings got said and yeah long story short it turned out to be an all around bad day. We both almost got terminated. Fortunately, our immediate supervisor at the time turned out to be pretty cool. So, we survived with just getting wrote up. We made amends that same day and worked on several jobs together after that up. After that we were never close but we were cool. Let me also say some jobs are not for everybody. I don’t think the whole physical labor style work was his thing. Didn’t seem like he really wanted to be there, it was just something he had to do at the time. There’s nothing wrong with that its life We’re all trying to find our lane.  I learned from the experience it taught me to never allow anyone to push my buttons and make me lose my cool. Because he told me I knew that outside of work him along with his lady they ran a vegan food truck catering service. Before I had ever had any thoughts about becoming a vegetarian, they had started a business specializing in this niche market. Out of Sunnyvale and the bay area is the perfect place to start a business like that. He worked to support them while she ran the business and he also helped her out during weekends and his time off. You could say they had a healthily mutually beneficial partnership. I have never met her but through our other coworker I heard nothing but good things like she was attractive, smart and capable, and he was correct about that. Evidently, she also has a pretty good recipe for vegan fried chicken because Mark Cuban offered her a million dollars for it. Anyways getting back to the show I’m screaming and marking out because it’s just so funny to see someone you know firsthand on national tv on a show you love to watch. Another funny thing is it wasn’t even a new episode I had just missed it. Their product on the show was their award-winning secret recipe plant based vegan fried chicken. They had a pretty good showing except for they made the cardinal sin they went on shark tank and didn’t know their numbers. They presented the sharks with some improbable figures and projections. In spite of that they still got offers. Even thou they decline both the offers received due to the fact they didn’t want to give up ownership of their company, it’s still a tremendous accomplishment to make it as far as they have. A shark tank is not always the best option for every business. Their food products are available in hundreds of restaurants nationwide In addition to all he accolades and success they’ve already achieved you can bet that there’s a lot more coming their way. So congratulations to them. This goes to show that one day you can be on a random jobsite having an asinine argument with me and then just short time later you’re on ABC getting million dollar offers from billionaires. Also I look at this as a good case study and testament to the significance of having the right partner that’s supportive of you and vice versa. You can become a power couple with unlimited potential. You can find them online at (atlasmonroe.com). The food looks amazing I plan on dropping in and trying their cuisine very soon. I have recently developed a product related to this space. It was unintentional I never wanted to go into the food industry because of the high level of difficulty. Nonetheless it came about for me while developing my own program for meal prep. Being a person who wants to eat healthily and vegetarian but has very little time to cook. I have no culinary training but I am creative in the kitchen like I am in every aspect of my life. Over the last several months its lead me create something that has helped me out tremendously. It checks a lot of the right boxes it saves time, adds convenience is very nutritionally dense and literally has hundreds of different applications in the kitchen. Food is difficult and competitive space but the potential is beyond huge everyone has to eat. Take Kraft for example they sell a million boxes of mac and cheese every day.  I think I have something I can distribute to restaurants as well as market and sell directly to the public online. I’m still in the very early stages of development so I don’t want to give too much away until patents and trademarks are in place. As time goes on I will continue to talk more about it. We’ll have to see where it goes. At least I know I have some people I can refer to for advice along the way. 

                                                    Paper Girls and Nightsky 

The blog I wrote last week I really wanted to write two weeks ago but I had to do my meal prep I was out of product. For me to make my product it takes about 4-5 hours I usually spread that out over the weekend. I try to make a month’s worth that way I don’t have to do it every week. While I was doing that two weeks ago, I watched this series I thought was pretty incredible and I wanted to talk about it. Paper Girls is action drama sci-fi thriller 8 episode series on prime video. Usually reading a comic book makes you want to see movies about it. In this case watching this series made me want to go back and read the graphic novel which I still plan on doing. This was a comic adaption done right very good writing. It follows the four main characters Erin, Tiffany, KJ and Mac they are 12-year-old girls working on their paper routes on hell day November 1st 1988.  This first episode starts out at 100 miles per hour and doesn’t let up if you look away for a minute you’ll miss an important part of the story. Lots of action but the writers do a good job of keeping you engaged in the storyline. The plot is in the chaos of the night these four young girls unknowingly get rushed into a time machine and travel from 1988 to 2019, to find that they are in the middle of a war between two factions from different times. The STF (standard time fighters) are from way in the future where things are so bad their goal is to travel back and change moments in time to better the world. The Old Watch is from not as far in the future their mission is to preserve the original timeline. They enforce a time travel ban by killing anyone travels outside of their original timeline. The second episode slow down to 80 mph and lets you get invested in the characters a little bit more. The whole series is really good I recommend it. As we follow them jumping through time the editors pick music relevant to the different time periods. There are real human moments in the script. What I mean is in action movies it sometimes bothers me when the people never stop to eat, rest, shower or use the bathroom. There are no time travel movie rules about not interacting with yourself at a different age, matter of fact that’s some of the main drama and conflict involved.  If you have children in your household the language is harsh but makes sense in context with what the characters are going through.  I noticed Brad Pitt was one of the executive producers. The characters are good the writing was strong. There’s a lot of epic WTF moments. There is a few plot hole and things that don't make sense but overall I would say season one this is worth watch at least a couple of times. 

Nightsky is another good first season sci-fi series from prime video. This about a mature couple who happen to have a teleportation device hidden in there shed in the back yard. It stars landmark actors Sissy Spacek and JK Simmons. The device takes them to a room on a strange planet across the galaxy. The pacing is more gradual in this series definitely more of a drama less of a thriller. Still it was very interesting. They did a good job of building the story. It leaves you in anticipation of a second season. Definitely worth a watch. 

Alright y’all have a pleasant night and a wonderful week. I’m not even finish talking about food yet so I will return soon with part 2 of this. So stay in touch and know that all the things that you truly desire you have the power to make them transpire.  

Thank you to everyone who inquired about how I was doing when I wasn’t feeling good. I appreciate your concern but I didn’t mean to worry you. I don’t really consider catching covid to be a big deal. In this day and age everybody is going to catch it to some varying degree or another. Especially if you are someone who works in direct contact with the public. Me being somebody who believes everything happens for a purpose. It makes my mind go to a place where I ponder what the purpose of this virus is. I am not one for baseless speculation but it is my thought that we meaning us as humanity. Being the dominate biological lifeform on this planet and the top of the food chain, with no natural enemies besides each other to thin our ranks to lessen the damaging effects we have on the ecological system. In the way that nature regulates and contains the numbers of every other species of life. My point is that we should move into a direction where we are living more in harmony ecological systems of nature that govern this planet. The reason being that this war we are trying wage against the environment and nature here’s the spoiler we are not going to win. Check the numbers look at how cows are dying from heat exhaustion in mid America. A planet full of life is at the very least an extraordinary phenomenon. We could never understand all the physics involved in maintaining that proper balance.  Due to that fact that we do have the capabilities of higher reasoning and thinking to do the right thing. We have to remember that is our original purpose to serve as caretakers, shepherds and gardeners of the earth. If we were to actually abandon that directive and even do the opposite and go against it and engage in destroying the planet. Who could say what repercussions may be unleashed. What is purpose of space exploration? In the way that we are looking toward other worlds that may be suitable to sustain life. What is the point of that if we are unable to take care of this incredible gift of the planet we live on now?  Although this is philosophy, food for thought and critical thinking it should still be taken into serious consideration. 

But anyhow besides all that physically I feel fine. Like the majority of people, I was just sick for a few days but then quickly made a full recovery. I didn’t work or even leave the house for a week. The rest did my system well and I’m even stronger than before. Contracting the corona virus was a good check on my immune system. I know it’s still working and strong enough to defeat the virus. Just in general every six months or so you should just sleep a whole day or even several days. The body needs this to aid in recovery from the stress an active lifestyle. 

The worst part of being sick was just being alone in the house not really getting out of bed expect to shower for a week. Your thoughts can start to turn somewhat dark. Your dreams can get really weird. Out of all that the overarching thought that came mind was this. The most important social media is your brain and your thoughts are like your personal newsfeed. So, you want to make sure what you are inputting in to your brain is content that is healthy and positive so that your thoughts mostly be uplifting. I was back in the gym last Sunday I felt revitalized after that workout. I had a really good workout in part because I was so rested. 

I watched the new Jurassic Park movie it was fine I’m not going to drag it. The whole I was thinking: “how many more of these dinosaur movies can they make? There all exactly the same”. There were some cool scenes but I couldn’t even tell you what it was about besides people running from danger. I’m not interested enough to ever watch it again to determine the plot. There is a new animated Green Lantern movie called “Beware my Power”.  I enjoyed it being a huge Green Lantern fan. If you are not thou, I don’t know how much you would like it. It used some of the most sophisticated characters in the green lantern mythos and wraps them up in a very short arch. This could’ve easily been three different movies it didn’t need to rushed. This franchise has so much potential this movie didn’t really do the Lanterns justice. It shouldn’t be that hard the stories are already written. 

On a brighter note, I am very happy to say. My favorite show is back with a new season. “the Food Built America”. Nowadays as far as entertainment goes there’s not a lot stuff for me. That’s ok because there was a time when almost everything was catered toward my demographic but now not so much. But this show I love watching it so much. When there’s a new episode I can’t stop watching it until it ends, if I miss a part I rewind. It captivating, enthralling and inspirational.  This is the best season yet it even gave me a new hero and role model. We’ll talk more about who it is and why later. It also has started to become relevant to my current ventures. Yes I have a new product well I actually have a few new products in development, but one of them is a new, unique and practical food product. Whether it is a company or not time will tell. Either way we talk about it right here. “Acquire what you desire” is going to be an ongoing written series by me with several installments because I have a lot of thoughts and feeling I would like to express in regards to this matter. Don’t worry I won’t keep you waiting to long for part 1. Until then I hope you stay cool during this heatwave and in this Life and world even as a third of it burns up, I wish you the best and I hope that you acquire all that your heart desires.                                                                                                                                                                   

What is happening everybody? I hope all is good where ever you may be. So, another year in the bag and 2022 is now here. There’s a lot going on in the world right now. There’s been a lot of what they like to call extreme weather events. The tornadoes in the mid-west and just recently the wildfires in Colorado. I remember about a week after I moved into my new place in September there was the craziest electrical storm I’ve ever seen. When I went to bed that night there was so many flashes of light, I thought someone was in the backyard doing a photoshoot. I got up around 2:00 am to go to work. Over the years I’ve had a lot of overnight jobs where I’ve had to be outside but I’ve never seen anything like this in Sacramento before. There were literally hundreds lighting strikes like one every minute. Each lighting strike would light up the entire skyline it was a pretty spectacular thing to witness. It almost seemed supernatural. Its reminder of how powerful nature can be. It’s seeming like this is the new normal so this is something we’ll have to get used to. 

It’s been 45 degrees outside so I’ve been home watching a ton of movies on the firestick. Mostly a lot of independent stuff. So, of them a few years old but still worth a watch if you got some time on your hands. If you haven’t seen them yet. Here’s my recommendations along with my personal opinion 

Before I get started, I have to say (the Unforgivable) with Sandra Bullock has to be the movie of the year. What an outstanding performance a great story but very dark and heavy. Also (Bruised) with Haley Barry has to be in that conversation. I felt it touched on some really important subject matters especially the cycle of abuse. This was the best modern day rocky re-make I’ve ever seen. 

(2149: the Aftermath) This is a low budget dystopian future sci fi film. I like sci fi although I admit most the films in the genre are pretty bad. This one was interesting it was kind of like a cross between the original Matrix movie and Oblivion. I thought it was cast well young never before seen actors which is refreshing. It was executed well the effects were low budget but not cheesy. It was written well the plot kept my attention for 90 minutes good characters I like this movie. 

(Afternoon Delight) This movie is Drama Comedy from 2013 but  I had never heard of it before. I thought Kathryn Hahn was really good in the lead. She has a lot of range as a comedic actress. This movie is funny but it gets pretty dark and touches on some real subject matters. This movie is provocative rated MA so its not for the kiddies. Even the title is play on when the lead character thinks is best time of day for some fun time. The story starts from a successful couple who love each other but there relationship has lost some of its passion for various reasons. The plot picks up when they visit a strip club and befriend a dancer. I enjoyed this movie a lot I’d watch it again if was in the right mood. 

(Injustice) This is a DC animated film based on the comic. DC does so much better with animation then with their live action films. I think it’s because their characters are so much more out of the realm of reality then marvels. If you read the comic or played the video game this is a condensed version that.  Harley Quinn and Plastic man were hilarious. Superman becomes the villain in this film after the Joker commits a horrible act of terrorism. Superman snaps and decides to hold the world to his standard of justice. What I like about this storyline is that Superman is obviously an analogy for God or at least the son of God. I’ve heard a lot people express their anger with God because he allows injustices to occur.  So this story is like what if God did step in at this point and stopped every wrong doing from occurring. Not exactly superman has obviously gone insane in this Movie. Anyway, this is a really good adult animation movie. 

(Venom 2: Let there be Carnage) This movie was a disappointment. I liked the first Venom movie it was pretty good for a storyline that is missing its main character spiderman. But that didn’t hold up when it came to the sequel. I knew it was going to bad when I saw that Woody Harrelson would play carnage not that he is a bad actor he’s just one those guys in hollywood that’s overused.  This movie showed no character development and Venom half way through just becomes silly and uninteresting. Carnage was always a shallow character but, in this movie, he was written even worse. This franchise will always be limited without spiderman. The CGI was pretty bad to I didn’t like this movie at all.      

(the Matrix Resurrections) This movie really surprised me. The first matrix movie was revolutionary at the time. What a captivating plot with a mind-blowing twist. The Animatrix was really good to, the sequels were okay but not as enthralling as the original film. The fourth installment of the franchise Resurrections was very entertaining. Especially for fans of the first film there was a lot of callbacks. They rebooted a few of the characters which I thought they did a great of job. Especially Morpheus great character progression. Neo had more of a regression which was smart because how much more could you do with him at that point. Even with the regression they didn’t just destroy the character. They told a really good story here I felt it could have even been stretched into two movies and still been good. Being that the story was good it made the action sequences better because I was vested in the story and what happens had consequence. I loved the relationship aspect of the eternal bond between Neo and Trinity. This movie like the first one draws a strong correlation between the matrix universe and the world we live in. Like when the maker tells Neo “These people don’t want to wake up there happy in their pods”. I’m a little unsure about the ending but I wont spoil it for you if you haven't seen it yet. This didn’t seem like the beginning of a new trilogy it seemed like a finale. At least for the Neo and Trinity characters. Or course they have a lot of room to make movies based in that universe. If that is it then it was a really good ending to a solid franchise. 

So its almost Midnight 10:57 PST when I’m finishing up writing this, so Happy 2022 everybody I wish you all happiness, success and well-being in the new year. I hope to get back to my creative ways soon but who knows what life has in store for me next. Either way I will stay in touch hopefully you do the same.  Feel free to say what’s up or give your own opinion on any of these movies.    

 Greeting to everybody who happens to read this. I just came from the gym so I still got a little bit of my exercise high so im feeling pretty good. It is the holiday season so let me add Happy Fetivus to all. its GLORIOUS a Fetivus for the rest of us. As we all  know a major component of the celebration  of Fetivus is the airing of the grievance's. AND I HAVE ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE NOW YOUR GOING TO HEAR THEM. But before we get to all that let me explain my absence from the blog-o-sphere. Besides the fact that I am extremely busy with work. For everything that I do I must first consult with the force. Meaning I have to be feeling it I don't doing things just for the sake of doing them or for the sake or self promotion. That's why I don't tweet because 90% of tweets are useless pointLess babble. I'm not knocking twitter users it's just saying its not my thing. I don't want this blog that I have to become a barrier to actual communication which I feel a lot of social media can be. Anyhow I haven't been feeling  like writing because even things in my personal life are going smooth making steady progress. It just seems like there an overwhelming amount of negativity happening on this pLanet at this particular point in time. It's hard to ignore things like the genocide happening in Yemen. the United States is an accomplice to aiding Saudi Arabia exterminate a whole race of people. The two richest nations in the world attacking the poorest nation world its's just sad. Not to mention the the never ending natural disasters earthquakes hurricanes and fires one right after another.  I think about the people in puerto rico who have spent the last few month with no electricity because of the corruption that exist in there government and ours as well. Here in Northern California we recently had to deal with devastating wild fires. I was in santa rosa recently and that community has been  forever changed. Driving around that city is so post apocalyptic. Whole neighborhoods reduced to ashes. Every fourth business burnt to the ground. I saw a brand new hotel completely charred with the cars still in the parking lot also burnt up. I have to tell you those are some very sombering visuals. The people there seem shaken and traumatized. I guess what im trying to say is that so many horrible things are happening at such a fast pace it hard process it all at once. Anytime I choose to express my to the universe I want to make im putting out positive vibes. At this point in time I feel like  right now is not a great time for communication. People are not talking to each in an exchange of ideas there talking at each other and trying imposing there will on others. When I react to to current events I want my signal and message to be clear and not be influenced by anger and heartbreak.All thou its been good to all pevert's and chomo's  in hollywood  and the world face there day of reckoning with this me too movement.  I don't really now why but I've been feeling really good for the last couple of days 

With that being said I have been working plenty of new material. I just shot a new video a couple weeks ago. I actually have a lot new songs im ready to put out there just not videos. Since its been a whlle I wanted to put out a legit video first. I dont like to talk to much about what im going to do I prefer to just do it then let my work speak for itself . But  I think this video I just shot should turn out pretty dope some of elements came together quite well. The trak is definitely sic the model we used she  did an amazing job  so at this its all in the editors hands now so we'll see what happens. I still want to thank everyone who showed up to help out that night. I plan on posting more often in 2018 as my financial situation continues to improve. Hopefully we'll have a better platform as fb develops its tv app. I would like to start on youtube as well and produce a daily exercise show. I feel now that i'm creating the best music that I ever have. When I feel i'm unable to do that anymore I'll know its time for me to go in a different direction. By the way I love holidays because it gives me a whole day free to work in the studio. And that's what I plan on doing tomorrow.  

So now that you know where my brain is at what i'm really here to do is to talk about movies. Nowadays I feel its tough to find quality entertainment that doesn't insult your intelligence. So when you find something that provides that mental stimuli it pulls me in I get really into it. Star Wars is or was one of those franchises. I am a true fan I love the characters and story. I liked ever star wars movie up until this point. I liked the prequels because the setup this amazing long arching storyline. I like rogue one because we dove deeper into the background story.When I was younger I used to read all the background stories and legends material. I even wore my star wars boxers to see the latest installment. Recently I've seen three movies bladerunner 2049, thor ragnorok and star wars the last jedi. And while all these movies were technically good but star wars was a huge disappointment. I felt the need to express myself as a real fan of star wars because of the controversy surrounding the rt reviews of this movie. While critics loved this movie with it sitting with a critics score of over 90% fans seem to be split over this movie with audience score in the low 50 percent range. Hmmm something doesn't add up. 

 Well fear not you can all always count on me tell you the truth.First let me say I dont why I thought disney was going to preserve the prestige of this franchise and take it to the next level.  I mean this is the same company that spliced pornography into animated children films back in the nineties. Don't believe me look it up. I think the critics are afraid to give this movie an honest review for fear of incurring the wrath of disney not wanting to get blackballed in the industry. Because this movie failed on many levels. Let's start with positive the cinematography nice there were some beautiful scenes. Yes TLJ was very aesthetically pleasing. I didn't fall asleep in it and I wasn't checking my phone to see what time it was. But I was completely baffled as to what I was suppose to be watching. Lets start with the comedy corny cheesy completely out place. The jokes didn't work and they really took me out of the movie. It felt like a parody of itself I thought I was watching spaceballs. This  movie had plot holes that you could drive tank thru there were hard to ignore. Like the purple haired chick not telling Po the plan. Which would've saved us 45 minutes of complete aggravation. If Luke didn't want to be found why did he make map for people to get to him?

Moving on the story line was completely incohesive and disjointed. The main plot was a slow speed chase thru space how boring and aggravating is that. The casino planet was a complete crap and a waste of time it felt more like the 5th element then star wars. The acting was good but the writing was piss poor. Lets start with the main character Rey while some fans took issue with how strong she was portrayed. I like strong female characters im attracted to strong females like Lucy I really enjoyed that movie. But they did not develop reys character any further. She got all these jedi skills and she didn't even have to train  luke didn't teach her anything. it cheapens the whole idea. Some of the best scenes was of her and luke on the island. She looked so sexy swinging that lightsaber around they could've spent 15 more minutes of her and luke training. If her parents are indeed nobody why not expand father figure relationship between Rey and Luke and have a true passing of the torch. Why even tease a big revile if her are nobody special after two years that let down makes me not care about her character.  The biggest blunder of this film was the handling of luke skywalker. while Mark Hamill did a good job because he's great actor the director really dropped the ball and didn't do anything right with the most iconic character in movie history. I'm not even going to get into because i'll be writing all night also because I believe it was done intentionally. I took it as an F U to the fans. Another reviewer brought this up and I agree with him. The message I got from this film was it was disneys way of knocking religion. The whole script seem to written from a nihilistic point of view and didn't really seem to mesh with any of the other movies. Don't im not complaining because it was different I like different I'm complaining because it was cheap and uncompelling. 

Kylo Ren is the same whiny little brat throwing temper tantrums and one point I think he gets a spanking from snoke. They didn't do anything to make me more interested in him he is a very bland villain with no real motive to be evil. Snoke was a disappointment the force wakens built our interest in finding out more about him. This movie gave no background on him then just killed him off in a very nonchalant way. Now the series doesn't have a real villain. For the 1st time ever I am not anticipating the next star war movie. they didn't give me reason to care. Im indifferent about the rose character. She didn't add or take away from the movie she was just there. Leia getting blown out into space and surviving Looked stupid and was so out of the realm of possibility that it just lost it's integrity.

I could go on and on but I think i'm going to stop there. Star Wars as we know it does done oh it'll still be around I'm sure they'll make a hundred more star wars movies that aren't really about anything like the fast and the furious but we'll all go see them anyways. On lighter note I've been really having a good time watching people on youtube review this movie. Its been quite entertaining and hilarious watching people crap on this film. I'm glad to see im not alone in my opinion. 

Well until next time people I wish you all love and success in 2018. Be looking out for my new video coming to a computer or phone near you soon. May the Force be with you.
